Great to Find this Site
I'm glad I found this site. For almost seven years, I used to ride every day from my home to office and back. Then, I got married, and since I commuted to the office with my wife I let my biking fall away. 
However, we had our first daughter about a year ago, so my wife encouraged me to get back into riding my bike again. Of course, I think it helps that she gets to have the car at home! 
With that being said, I'm glad to be riding again. I got back onto my bike after three years of neglect, and I couldn't believe I had let it go.
So, Thanks for having a great site!!

Welcome ticktock! There is so much to learn from here for cycling has changed so much. Everyone here shares a wealth of information. Next thing you know, you will be helping others get back on their bikes! Congrats on the baby..........maybe your wife and child would love to come along and ride with you. (They have those baby trailers that you can hitch onto your bike!)
